QUOTES AND PHOTOS FROM TODAY’S MEDIA WORKOUT:

 

 

 

 

I’m so excited to be back fighting at home, especially after our history making fight on HBO. I fought Cecilia Braekhus. We were the first women to ever fight on HBO and there were more than a million viewers. If I knew that many people would be watching, I would have been a lot more nervous.

 

 

 

“En papel, it was a loss, pero fue realmente beneficioso para mi, y boxeo femenino. Ya me ha abierto muchas puertas. Ha habido mucho crecimiento para mí y el boxeo femenino. Va a abrir la puerta para que otras mujeres luchen en las redes.. Fue un paso adelante para el boxeo femenino, no solo para un evento, pero para siempre.”

 

 

 

“Soy la primera mujer nativa americana en pelear en Nueva Inglaterra.”

 

 

 

“He estado peleando 18 año. Jugué baloncesto y voleibol en la escuela secundaria, pero me encanta el boxeo.”

 

 

 

“Mostré en mi última pelea que pertenezco para estar con la élite. Quiero conseguir una revancha (con Braekhus).”

 

 

 

“Ser un guerrero de la carretera, Estoy familiarizado peleando fuera o en casa, pero es más cómodo pelear aquí en casa. La multitud de mi ciudad natal siempre me apoya mucho.”

 

 

 

“(Sábado) I am going to come out with a victory. My opponent’s taller, but I just need to follow the game plan and execute.
